Really cool game with nice graphics !

jmaggard62 2015-08-25 02:37

The nostalgia. Brilliant take on the theme!

tehphen 2015-08-25 03:40

Played a little slow in my browser, but I loved it!

Innovative, flashbacks of the ski-game that used to be on my school computer! Controls were a little icy (as if the yeti was a car..), but the awesome sounds and graphics kept me occupied.

sighnoceros 2015-08-25 03:41

I just want to say that I had this exact same idea. But I'm incredibly glad I didn't go for it, because it wouldn't have been even close to this. Really fun, the controls are loose but in a good, challenging way. Artwork is incredible, audio is great, really not much more for me to say other than that so far, this is absolutely my favorite game of the jam.

Also, I set the world record at 101 before I voluntarily smashed myself into trees over and over to deplete my energy to give other people a shot. :)

Really awesome! Being the yeti is way more fun than the skier as it turns out. The controls are a little drifty and it can be slightly frustrating to run into trees. :( But the animations and art are really gorgeous! Now you just need to add the skiers wiping out on jumps that the yeti can easily eat! Great job!

dickpoelen 2015-08-25 07:33

Those animations are great! Would be nice to have a downloadable version (not a fan of the web player myself)

shackhal 2015-08-25 07:50

Awesome and smooth graphics, good music and great gameplay. Also it have a leaderboard! Cool.

And puts a new gear to that old game that everyone remember. Ah, the nostalgia...

Overall, an excellent game. Good job.

johnhackworth 2015-08-25 10:38

Love love love love the graphics

faemir 2015-08-25 11:14

Outstanding. Absolutely fantastic graphics, sound and concept.

fisilva 2015-08-25 11:33

The controls were a bit difficult, but I loved how everything was cute and my favourite graphics so far !

commodorekid 2015-08-25 12:38

Wow it was very addicting. Controls and movement of the character plus animations feel so right together. Music is the only thing bothering me, it seems like looping a lot. Other than that good job!

local-minimum 2015-08-25 13:37

It really looked like a promising and fun game. Well made and great music/audio to go with the graphics. But it really was much much too hard for me. I played several times before I caught my first skier, and that is the only skier I've ever caught. So I think you need to add different difficulties where the skiers simply go slower. Or have the skiers get better/faster over time. I see from the high scores that others are better at it than I am. But only running around and failing wasn't so fun. Other than the difficulty though, it looks to be a superb entry!

sighnoceros 2015-08-25 14:07

My biggest tip for catching skiers is to follow THEIR ski tracks. Skiers will generally avoid trees, so instead of trying to move towards them directly, follow the path they're taking and you will have an easier time avoiding trees. You move faster than they do, so even if you're not cutting through trees you'll still be able to catch up.

anissen 2015-08-25 14:20

Really fun idea! Great graphics and execution :)

colthor 2015-08-25 14:21

Great idea and really pretty!
A Unity plugin or native download version would be great though - it was really stuttery in my FireFox, there was no sound, and it didn't register keyboard controls until I fullscreened it.

oxyoxspring 2015-08-25 14:31

Adorable, wonderful and a great nostalgia trip!

aflatminerstudios 2015-08-25 17:34

Holy cow, this is an awesome take on the ski free remix!! What an excellent way to make the visuals your own, the 2D/3D look. Those little skiers are frustratingly agile too...

mboaj 2015-08-25 17:58

Hilarious.

duzduz 2015-08-25 18:05

Really good one!! I love it. It is a true inspiration for me

balzaque 2015-08-25 18:27

Updated the itch.io page with a windows build for anyone that prefer a standalone version, really happy with all the feedback, thanks everyone! =]

rulrite 2015-08-25 18:30

A fun and professional little game, even if I'm terrible at it! You did a really great job with this.

jgthespy 2015-08-25 18:32

Adorable

headmade 2015-08-25 18:37

Fantastic game. The art is cute and quirky, the controls are snappy, the animations are lively, the sound is great, though the music is a bit dull. But still great job overall.

kirilllosev 2015-08-25 19:07

Lovely. Everything in this game is on a very good quality

Made2Code 2015-08-25 20:57

What can I say... I am a fun :)

gamepopper 2015-08-25 22:00

Brilliant animation, very smooth and quite challenging.

lazypenguin 2015-08-25 22:16

Fantastic!

5k0d 2015-08-25 22:52

Nice graphics, i had no sound though. Thumbs up!

plusultra 2015-08-26 00:21

Extremely cute! I love the movement, it makes it pretty challenging and very silly. Good job!

buzzwerd 2015-08-26 02:38

A fantastic and incredibly polished game! The way Ski Free should've always been :D

kchplr 2015-08-26 06:29

Good game :)

The way Mr.Yeti moves is charming. The sound effects, especially the scream, are also pretty nice.

auto_suggestion 2015-08-26 06:45

This is an amazing jam game and an amazing game in its own right! The difficulty level is perfect. The mechanics are SOLID. As game-makers, we understand how difficult it is to nail these things, and by golly you nailed this one. Also, the art is hilarious and cute.

jupiter_hadley 2015-08-26 18:26

Super cute graphics! I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/tto3rRaLBXQ

scorched 2015-08-26 18:34

Funny one, my game is about yeti too

zemmi 2015-08-26 18:53

My Yeti preferred to eat the greenery.

macecraft 2015-08-26 22:26

This is honestly perhaps the most fun LD game I've played to date. The yeti has to gather up momentum, but it's still relatively easy to control and ends up creating an amazingly fun challenge. The relatively close camera adds to the feeling of you actually being a starving yeti chasing skiiers in a hurry. The graphics are simple, adorable and all-around lovely to look at, the music and sounds are cheerful, wintery and really suit the game well. Amazing job! C:

fermenter 2015-08-27 01:02

Cutest animations I've seen in a while. Really enjoyed this. Dang, even leaderboards? Impressed!

aeveis 2015-08-27 03:18

Looks really good, nice animation, and I love what you did with the theme!
Controls were pretty hard for me though, I ran into a lot of trees- maybe if I didn't slide in the snow as much.

fallenthief 2015-08-27 10:26

The animation on the yeti is amazing lol

wizzardmaker 2015-08-27 11:50

Nice Game, great graphics!

orangeez 2015-08-27 16:57

Yeti is awesome!

MattHartley 2015-08-27 21:13

Really fun and feels very polished, well done!

rudra 2015-08-28 05:38

Loved it! The graphics(specially that of the yeti) was really good. Hope to see a future version of this one coming out. Good job !

ibai-aizpurua 2015-08-28 10:58

Great desings and really fun! Congratulations! :D

twinters 2015-08-28 13:44

Amazing polish on the graphics and sound. The gamefeel is also done outstandingly well (I love how when you hit a tree, everything shakes. I sure felt the impact of that blow!). The game also really intuitive. Great job!

graebor 2015-08-29 19:20

Love it! Nice visuals and very polished. I appreciate the thought put into details like the fact that you not only have to touch the skier's hitbox but stay on him for a split second to actually eat him.

mekuri 2015-08-30 01:38

I'm one of those that spent an unhealthy number of hours playing SkiFree. I must say, I now have a new found sympathy for my old nemesis.

The game felt very polished- Controls where nice, as well as sound and graphics. I specially loved that the guys on skis were just as shitty as I used to be :P
Good job, and thanks for the nostalgia trip, with improved graphics :P

inbetweengames 2015-08-30 17:12

That was lots of fun! But damm those trees! I'M HUNGRY! :D

sanju 2015-09-02 18:24

It's so funny to see that hungry yeti running after the skiers XD. Great little arcade game. Loved the graphics and the take on the theme.

shawn42 2015-09-04 21:55

I really like this. By far the best reverse ski-free entry.

Dizzly 2015-09-07 18:29

It s so polished, animation and gameplay. I really like it!
I really enjoyed it.

jcourt 2015-09-08 01:15

The windows version is missing an executable...

baykush_figtree 2015-09-08 03:49

Cool game. Got me a little nostalgic haha. Nice job.

slothmachine 2015-09-08 08:29

So lovely in every way! Made me feel nostalgic. Harder than I expected :)

kruemelkeksfan 2015-09-08 11:10

Argh! Way too difficult! So many trees! But cute graphics :)

metalchouchen 2015-09-08 11:32

Nice idea and cool graphics ! Congrats ! Find the path of the skiers is a cool gameplay feature.

exoddinary 2015-09-08 15:53

Nostalgia , great theme

drauthius 2015-09-08 18:54

That was very nice, and very difficult. I like the delayed bit, since it means it has to be a bit better planned.

jimmypaulin 2015-09-08 19:44

Love the fluid gameplay, the clarity of the artwork is superb (except some assets seem not to render correctly on Safari?), just a really superbly polished package, nice work! The footsteps effect and particles add a huge amount - "juice it or lose it"!

adsilcott 2015-09-09 02:07

The animation of the Yeti is just the best thing ever!

crucknuk 2015-09-09 11:30

Brilliant game!
Well polished, slick and enjoyable.
I loved the sounds, the graphics, when you stump into trees and kill those adorable sloppers.

Well it is a great entry! Well done!

patomkin 2015-09-12 08:11

Got only three skiers - I would make a bad yeti :D
Awesome entry with stunning animations. I only wish that meat indicator on the top would show how far to the left I need to go

sergi-montaner 2015-09-13 21:59

Very polished and fun entry.
During the first try I was trying to catch them on the fly because I thought they sky faster than you run (just ate 1). But then I started chasing them and I loved it.
